That split second between “I’ve got this” and “Oh no, I don’t”, it’s how most winter injuries happen.
Slippery driveways, hidden ice, quick errands in the cold , one small misstep can turn into a sprain, fracture, or worse.
At Immediate Care Centers of Texas, we see it all during the colder months: slips, falls, wrist injuries, twisted ankles, and even back pain from trying to catch yourself mid-fall.
The good news? Most of these are preventable with a little caution and a quick mindset shift.
✅ Slow down on frosty mornings.
✅ Wear shoes with traction, not just style.
✅ Use handrails and keep your hands free.
✅ Salt or sand driveways and sidewalks before heading out.
If an accident does happen, don’t “walk it off.” Come in immediately our ERs are open 24/7 with on-site X-ray, CT, and labs so you can get answers and relief fast.
From a swollen ankle to a sudden back injury, our physicians are here to help you heal safely.
